Which is your favorite?

How did you acquire this collection?
V: At a farm with Teta.

Are any of the stones magic?
V: Let's try the gold one - magic be my height give me a hundred jelly beans and cars and hot wheels and a hundred flowers and earth and these kind of animals and these kind of rocks. The gold one is not magic.

He tries each one.
V: Give me everything. Make everything be alive - didn't work. Put poop everywhere - didn't put poop everywhere. Turn into a June Bug - it didn't turn into a June Bug. Abracadabra, turn into a light house. It didn't work. Nothing worked.
